"It looks like a weather-vane," said Billy. "There's something printed on it," said Roly. "It says STOP," said the boy they called Nuts. "It says GO" said the boy they called Brownie. "I think," said Townsend, scrutinizing the approaching transport in his funny way, "I think, I think, it's a traffic sign. You don't see any automobiles in the canoe, do you?"
Her Appeal was not heard till the afternoon, and in the luncheon interval he took her to some decorous dining-rooms such as Joanna had never conceived could exist in London, so reminiscent were they of the George and the Ship and the New and the Crown and other of her market-day haunts. They ate beef and cabbage and jam roly poly, and discussed the chances of the day.
The completion of that tiresome second act, which had brooded over their lives like an ugly cloud, could now be postponed indefinitely. "Of course," said R. P. de Parys, thoughtfully, "our contract with you makes it obligatory on you to produce our revue by a certain date but I dare say, Bromham, we could meet Roly there, couldn't we?" "Sure!" said Rhodes.
And relinquishing his grasp on the door, he reeled between the two and thrust his face close to Roland's. "Who're you talkin' to, an'way?" he demanded, truculent. Nat stepped forward quickly and grabbed Pete's arm. "That's all right, Pete," he soothed him. "Don't get nervous. Roly won't hurt anybody." The diminutive stung Roland to exasperation.
We're going to be better than the Ravens and the Elks and the Silver Foxes and I know how to make apple-sauce! We're going to be a new kind of a patrol!"

"He took possession of the island in the name of the King of Bridgeboro."

Swipe a chunk of property? That's a part of North Bridgeboro you've got there." "Why didn't you take the whole village?" another called. "Hey, Roly, where are you going with the real estate?" another called. "I knew you were too heavy for that neck of land," shouted another. "Why didn't you take the whole orchard with you?" a third wanted to know. "For the love of ," another ejaculated.

"Oh Oh, my my nice ca-cake is all spoiled," she sobbed. "Oh, no it isn't!" comforted Mother Blake. "Only one pan of dough is spilled, and there is plenty more. The kitchen floor can easily be washed, and so can Roly Poly. "Hal," went on his mother, "you take the dog up to the bath tub and give him a good scrubbing. He'll like that. Take off your own waist and let the water run on that.
The jovial mule was a roly poly, happy-go-lucky little piece of horse-flesh, taking every thing easily, from cudgeling to caressing; strolling along with a roguish twinkle of the eye, and, if the thing were possible, would have had his hands in his pockets, and whistled as he went.
